Suspect Roberto Revelo won't face charges in Vacaville homicide case

A Fairfield man suspected in a recent Vacaville homicide case that was initially reported to be a suicide will not face any charges.

Solano County prosecutors said on Tuesday that they would not move forward with filing charges against Roberto Revelo, 20, who Vacaville police identified as a suspect in the Nov. 19 shooting death of 19-year-old Vacaville resident Ernesto Castillo Jr. Revelo had been arrested on Friday near his home in Fairfield and booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder, but was expected to be released this past Tuesday.

Prosecutors said that the matter was still under investigation.

"We didn't feel that we had enough information at this point to make a charging decision," said Chief Deputy District Attorney John Daugherty.

Vacaville police responded to the 100 block of Calle Tepic, in a mobile home park off of Alamo Lane in Vacaville, around 4:20 p.m. on Nov. 19 for the report of a shooting. The caller had indicated that a friend at the residence had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, police said.

But, as police detectives took over the investigation, it evolved into a homicide investigation.

According to police, Revelo was identified as a person of interest.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Vacaville Police Department at 449-5200, or Detective Adam Senf at 449-5245.
